Whilst your frustration at the change of venue for the Stobart Super League Round 27 fixture, Salford City Reds v Wakefield Trinity Wildcats is understandable, please be assured that it is not the case that ‘no consideration was given to supporters.’
The scheduling of televised Super Leaguer fixtures can sometimes create thorny issues, not least in the latter half of the season when matches are selected because of their relevance to the race for the play-offs/the battle for the League Leaders Shield etc.
This is further complicated when the matches involve host clubs who do not have full ownership of their home venue. However there have been very few instances where a club has had to find an alternative venue due to broadcast requirements, but unfortunately it can happen – the last time was three years ago when Wigan Warriors switched a play-off fixture against Bradford Bulls to the Stobart Stadium in Widnes.
Where possible, the RFL and Sky Sports work closely with the Super League clubs to minimise disruption to supporters. An example of Sky being flexible came last year when a play-off tie involving Wigan was rescheduled from Saturday evening to Sunday because Wigan Athletic were using the DW Stadium on the Saturday.
However in this case, circumstances combined to mean that no such switch was possible
